about 3 cm long and 2 mm in diameter, the lobes 5, oblong, 
narrowed at both ends, about 1.5 cm long, 6 mm wide, acute,

up the tube-like part. Staminal tube slender, glabrous, ex- 
serted from the tube-like part of the corolla about 1.5 cm, 
the reflexed laciniae at its apex 9 or 10, linear, acuminate, 4 
mm long. Filaments filiform, inserted inside the tube, ,the 
oblong anthers sparingly hispid, just exserted, about 1.5 mm

A species very similar to and manifestly allied to both Turraea humilis 
(Blanco) Merr., and to T. pumila Benn., differing - from both in its larger 
flowers. The latter species was described from Javan specimens, and is at 
present unknown outside of that island unless the Philippine T. humilis 
proves to be identical. Both F.-Villar and myself have considered the 
Philippine and Javan plants to be identical, the former reducing Blanco’s 
Plagianthus humilis to Turraea pumila Benn., while I retained Blanco’s 
specific name as the valid one, it being the older. It seems, judging from 
Bennett’s description of T. pumila, that his species is not the same as the 
Philippine one described by Blanco as Plagianthus humilis and which I 
have transferred to Turraea as a valid species. Turraea humilis (Blanco) 
Merr. is known only from Luzon, and it is exceedingly local and rare. It 
is represented by the following specimens:

The leaves are 3 to 6 cm long, ovate or elliptic-ovate, undulate but not 
lobed, and the flowers are 3 to 3.5 cm in length.

A tree about 13 m in height, nearly glabrous, or the inflores- 
cence and younger parts very sparingly pubescent, the growing 
parts distinctly brownish-puberulent. Branches glabrous, 
brownish-olivaceous, lenticellate. Leaves 7-foliolate, about 50 
cm long, the petiole 10 to 15 cm in length, brown when dry. 
Leaflets oblong to oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous, entire, glabrous, 
15 to 20 cm long, 3 to 5.5 cm wide, the apex slenderly subcau- 
date-acuminate, the base acute, the upper surface, when dry, 
pale-greenish-olivaceous, shining, the lower one glaucescent, the
